Calculator One that works for journalism.
Journalism requires more than simple calculations. Journalists have to make the numbers mean something to the readers. The calculator helps them to get the numbers right, but also do right by their readers. It has three main functions: percentage finder, rate finder, and out of a population. The percentage finder and rate finder will calculate the numbers and give you a better way to word it. For example, instead of 2%, one could also say 1 out of every 50 people. Instead of the confusing 200% rate change, the user can state three times the rate. If a journalist has a raw number for some phenomenon in the U.S. or the world, they can put that number into the "out of" population function and find out something more useful like 1 out of every 10000 people.

Ethics Adventure Have fun while being moral .

We have created this interactive game to help you explore some of these turns of fate to help you navigate them better into the future. During your adventure, you'll choose a scenario to start with - topics deal with social rights, conflicts of interest or transparency - and your current understanding of journalism ethics will guide your decision-making as you work through each situation.
